Текст песни




If it's all so far behind me
Why does it seem like yesterday?
The lark in the morning
You're out there tossing hay
The ferry in the harbor
Dancing jigs upon the waves
The day I turned my back on you and the islands
Seven years I stayed away
Though I rode from town to town
Down all those dancing days
Your eyes haunted me
But Bainbridge was the sweetest whore
Took care of my demands
That made me turn my back on you and the islands
I bought you petticoats of silk
A diamond from the dukes
No price too steep to pay for your commitment
To lie once more beside you
And to roll you in my arms
That's why I came back home to you and the islands
No smoke from your chimney
Your yard was choked with grass
They said you'd upped and gone to the mainland
Wouldn't mention that you met someone
Now lived in Dublin town
Grown tired of haunting dreams on the islands
Now it's all so far behind me
But it seems like yesterday
The lark has quit the heavens
No one bothers saving hay
I am a tourist in my hometown
An acquaintance, once a friend
Since I turned my back on you and the islands
Since I turned my back on you and the islands
Since I turned my back on you and the islands
